Todo Backup has the typical backup job scheduling options, for daily, weekly or monthly backup.

This option is not available in many free disk imaging tools. The other priority setting is network bandwidth which can be a very useful feature for backing up over the network or to a cloud service. It allows you to set the backup job to a low priority if it’s slowing down your computer. Priority settings allow the priority of the job to be set. Encryption is fixed to 256 bit AES algorithm which is strong. Compression has 4 levels which might be overkill. The main backup options are compression, encryption and backup priority. The supported cloud services are Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. Note there is also an option to backup to a cloud service but this is only available for file/folder backup. Once the source partitions are selected, one must select the destination, which can be on the local disk, a USB device or a network disk. System backup is the simplest option if in doubt. Disk backup is for backing up an entire disk or selected partitions, whereas System backup will automatically choose partitions relevant to the currently running operating system. As we are focusing on disk imaging functionality, we are mainly interested in Disk and System backup. The main window has options for Disk/Partition backup, File backup, System backup and Smart backup. For folder backup, there is a “Smart Backup” feature which monitors changes and creates frequent backups when it detects changes. However, as with most free imaging software, there is no option to exclude selected folders from backup. Todo Backup does incremental backups which saves disk space, and also has good backup plan settings, to create full and incremental backups, and handle automated removal of older backups to save space. One reason for the popularity of this backup utility is the advanced features set compared to equivalent free tools. EaseUS Todo Backup is likely the most popular free disk imaging software available, with the company claiming over 6 million users worldwide.
